That's It? Not Panicking at All, Though No Good Man
That’s It? Not Panicking at All, Though No Good Man
“Honoured Noble, terrible news! Ten thousand li from the sect, multiple great powers are assembling—among them even the Pseudo-Sol Holy Land, the Great Sun Divine Dynasty, the Ancient Xiao Family, and many other great powers...”
“From the looks of it, they’re coming to attack us.”
Meanwhile.
In the main hall of Supreme Stygian Holy Land, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop was discussing matters with a group of elders.
A disciple suddenly came rushing in, flustered, to report.
His face was deathly pale.
After all, this was a huge matter!
So many great powers assembling together, ten thousand li from the sect—from that far away, they could already feel that terrifying pressure.
Judging by this display, they were clearly coming to attack Supreme Stygian Holy Land.
Although Supreme Stygian Holy Land usually prided itself as the overlord of Eastern Barren.
Facing an assault from so many veteran great powers, it would still tremble.
However, after this disciple finished his report, he was somewhat stunned.
Whether it was the Honoured Noble or the group of elders, all of them appeared completely calm—or rather, composed.
There wasn’t even a trace of panic or shock.
“That’s it? Getting all flustered over such a trivial matter—what kind of decorum is that?” Instead, one elder frowned and rebuked him.
From the looks of it, he clearly didn’t take the matter of the other great powers joining forces to attack seriously at all.
“Honoured Noble, as expected, you had the foresight. You anticipated something like this would happen and established good relations with Young Master Gu in advance.”
At this point, the other elders also spoke up with smiles, one after another flattering the Supreme Stygian Archbishop.
Clearly, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop quite enjoyed the admiring gazes of the elders and all this praise.
Still, on the surface, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop had to maintain his dignity. He waved his hand and said indifferently, “Ever since the Supreme Elder passed away in meditation, our Supreme Stygian Holy Land has been in a state of unrest and instability.”
“Thanks to Young Master Gu coming here for his training, we were able to establish a connection with him.”
“Words like these—you should go say them to Young Master Gu instead.”
At this point, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop couldn’t help feeling a little smug inside.
A young lord from the Beyond, with a glorious status and a terrifying background.
Apart from the elders and trustworthy inner disciples, no one else actually knew about this matter.
He was just waiting to give the other powers a big surprise.
It had to be said, the Supreme Stygian Archbishop was also a man of deep scheming.
He had long anticipated that a day like this would come.
“Honoured Noble, these past few days it seems the Saintess and Young Master Gu have grown quite close. If not for the Saintess, our Supreme Stygian Holy Land would likely have been doomed this time.”
“Yes, yes, it’s all thanks to you, Honoured Noble, for fathering such a fine daughter!”
The elders all sighed with emotion one after another, making the smile on the Supreme Stygian Archbishop’s face deepen even further.
Indeed, when all was said and done, this was all thanks to his daughter.
Someone like Young Master Gu—what qualifications would they have to even approach him?
Listening to the conversation between the Honoured Noble and the elders, the disciple who had come to report was completely dumbfounded.
The Supreme Elder had long since passed away in meditation?
And that mysterious young lord—was he really that powerful?
To the point that the Honoured Noble and the elders weren’t panicking in the slightest, and were instead chatting and laughing?
He only felt his head buzzing.
“Men, open the mountain gates. Come with me to welcome the various sects and factions...”
Then, a golden light flashed in the Supreme Stygian Archbishop’s eyes, and as they opened and closed there was an air of great boldness. He transmitted his voice in a commanding shout.
...
“What Young Master Gu says is truly fascinating. Is the Beyond really that vast?”
Meanwhile, in a pavilion, Su Qingge smiled behind pursed lips.
Then she gently rolled up her sleeve.
Revealing a small section of her fair wrist, like a snow-white lotus root, delicate and flawless.
She gently refilled Gu Changge’s empty wine cup before him.
Listening to Gu Changge talk about the interesting matters of the Beyond, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of yearning.
After setting aside the prejudice in her heart, her interactions with Gu Changge now indeed felt completely different from before.
Although Gu Changge was deeply calculating and hard to read.
It was undeniable that he held great attraction for women.
As the Supreme Stygian Saintess, with Two Souls in One Body, intelligent since childhood, she had seen countless outstanding young talents.
But not a single one could truly compare to Gu Changge.
Or rather, comparing them would be an insult to Gu Changge.
Just his peerlessly handsome appearance alone—few men could match it.
Not to mention his knowledge, his conversation, his bearing, as well as his cultivation, his background, and so on.
Even her father had said that even he was far from being Young Master Gu’s match.
Though Young Master Gu was no good man, he was the destination most women yearned for.
She was naturally no exception.
Hearing these words, the expression on Gu Changge’s face was somewhat of a half-smile.
“Whether the Beyond is vast or not, wouldn’t you know by going up and seeing for yourself?”
After this period of interaction.
Su Qingge had more or less opened her heart’s defenses to him.
The only thing Gu Changge couldn’t quite understand was why his Fortuity points hadn’t increased again since that last time.
Or was it that Su Qingge’s Fortuity simply had little to do with Ye Chen?
Was she herself also a person of great Fortuity?
Her mother was a noble lady of the Beyond, so her bloodline had an extraordinary origin?
Or was she the reincarnation of some ancient existence?
This matter—even the System couldn’t explain it.
“It seems there really are people in this world who carry great Fortuity yet are different from Fortuitous Ones like Ye Chen.”
So Gu Changge thought.
However, Ye Chen probably still hadn’t given up on Su Qingge, so he could take the opportunity to harvest another crop of leeks.
“Without cultivating to the Partial-Enlightened Realm, one cannot break the World Barriers. For cultivators like us, born in the Overworld, how could it be so easy to go to the Beyond?”
Su Qingge said with some regret.
After all, Partial-Enlightened Realm experts were already the pinnacle existences of this world.
Let alone in the lands of Eastern Barren—even in Middle State, Southern Ridge, the Northern Deserts, or the Western Wastes, one couldn’t catch sight of them.
The founding ancestor of Supreme Stygian Holy Land back then was merely at the half-step Partial-Enlightened Realm.
By now, the strongest experts of the various Holy Lands of Eastern Barren had only barely reached the half-step Honoured Lord Realm.
To reach the point of breaking through the world and ascending—who knew how difficult that would be.
